I've been incubating eggs in a little giant incubator, but I have an extra humidity reader and temperature gage inside next to the eggs for back up reading. The one on the screen is inaccurate and always says it's about 45% humidity.
Today was day 18 so I took out my egg turner and put all 10 of my eggs on their sides and closed the top. within minutes the humidity gauge went from 52 nearly 80. I am devastated. The only explanation is that it was at or around 80 the whole time and falsely reading because of the egg turner. I mean, what else could the exclamation be?
My question is is it completely too late? What now? should I keep the humidity at 50 and hopes the chicks don't drown? or bring it up higher because we're in lockdown and hope for a miracle? This is so sad.
